Trash Pickup At Some Businesses May Get Later Start

April 14, 1993|By Steven Ostrowski.

Hoffman Estates — Early-morning trash pickups at some commercial properties in Hoffman Estates may have to start later in the day under a proposal being considered by the village's Judiciary Committee.

Trash collection at homes in Hoffman Estates begins at 7 a.m. weekdays, but there is no established starting time set for collections at commercial properties. The committee this week recommended that no refuse collections be permitted before 7 a.m. at commercial properties located near residences.

In some instances, refuse haulers begin servicing their commercial routes at 4 a.m.
